What does a red exclamation mark in a car mean?
1 Answers
A red exclamation mark in a car indicates a brake system malfunction, which could be caused by a fault in the brake system or severe wear of the brake pads. In such cases, you should drive at a low speed and have the vehicle inspected at a repair shop as soon as possible. Warning lights indicate a fault in a certain part of the vehicle, and the exclamation mark warning light is one of them. The brake system warning light may be triggered by low brake fluid levels. Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the car's braking system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the force applied is transmitted by the piston in the master cylinder through the brake fluid to the wheel cylinders at each wheel, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and stop the vehicle.
